Flitcroft "delighted" to be in third round

David Flitcroft has admitted that he is "delighted" that Bury have made it through to the third round of the FA Cup for the first time in eight years.

A first-half goal from Danny Rose sent the Shakers through with a 1-0 win at the expense of League One rivals Rochdale, although Bury also had two further goals disallowed.

After the match, the manager told the club's website: "It's fantastic. The following was incredible from us today. We had to get off on the front foot and we did. Everyone did a real team job today.

"I'm delighted with getting to the next round. It's for the fans. I'm delighted for them. It's obvious to say I'd love to draw a big club like Manchester United but we never seem to get those types of games."

The third-round draw, which sees the Championship and Premier League sides enter the competition, takes place tomorrow.
